Holding hands

Two people voluntarily hold hands, apart from in the case of a handshake:

to express friendship or love,

to enjoy physical contact (not necessarily of erotical character),

for emotional support,

to guide (a child, a blind, in darkness, etc.)

to urge to follow,

to keep together (in a crowd or in darkness),

to help the other walking, standing or climbing up,

to dance.

Whether friends hold hands depends on culture and gender: in the Western culture this is mainly done by women and small children. In Arab countries it is done also by men.
